Next to the show of Bas Kosters, I attended the show of Spijkers & Spijkers at Fashion Week Amsterdam. The show of the twins was inspired by Faye Dunaway who played Bonnie in the '67 movie Bonnie and Clyde.

I did like the inspiration but for me the show was a little too 'now' instead of a vision of tomorrow. The colours blue, red, rusty red, brown and black fitted well together. On some dresses there were details of a little guns-print, a wink to Bonnie. I would like to have seen a little more daring Bonnies instead of the well-behaved Bonnies of SIS. I am inspired to wear my beret more often though! All in all it was nice to see the models in the end all together walking on the catwalk, so you could see the coherency of the collection.

Last Wednesday I attended the show of fashion designer Bas Kosters;1,2, Tree. It had all elements to call it a real show: dancers, music mixed by a dj, a song by Bas himself joined with his voicemail, and a video in the background of Bas dressed as different monsters.

I had a blast, as always at Bas Kosters shows and parties. The show was colourful, fun and exciting. The telephone was a returning object, as well as fringes, dots, yellow fluffy fabric, and patterns of dolls/ monsters. It felt like a mini-monster-party with Bas as the King of monsters. (And parties!)

Photographer Marc Deurloo made pictures behind the scenes. Since I was in the back at the show I could not see the shoes at first, but damn those Palladiums in black and red are cool! My favorite of the show is the dress with Bas his head as a monster.

Tomorrow is the kickoff of Amsterdam Fashion week! My dear friend Bas Kosters will be showing tomorrow his '1,2, Tree' collection. Inspired by the combination of the city and rural-live. I will be attending his show and will be shooting some streetstyle pictures.

Here a picture from his 2010 'Living too hard' collection by Marc Deurloo.

The outfit I (probably) will be wearing tomorrow (in the theme of nature):
